Wine Wayland Driver Lands Improved HiDPI Support

Alexandros Frantzis with Collabora has seen his "part 9" code upstreamed for the in-progress Wine Wayland driver.

There is already a merge request for part 10 of the Wine Wayland driver that is working on enabling Vulkan support for Wayland. This part ten enablement is being split into three merge requests.
